artdjones Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 My brother in law left his camper at a "specialist" for a quote. For patches on the top of both sills inside the cab doors and a patch on the valance he wants €1600. Looks like it's coming here once the holidays are over.

paulplom Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Out with the fam for my mother's birthday last night. I got talking with the fil and he mentioned the scrap man was collecting his '07 300c estate today. It's a 3.0 v6 diesel auto. I told him to cancel and I'll have it (the mental fucker). The mot runs out today and it needs a battery. It's also been done up like a bentley with all the badges, grille etc. At £280 it could be the bargain of the year.

Fumbler Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 12 minutes ago, HarmonicCheeseburger said: Wax stat removed from the K11 yesterday as it decided like they all do to turn on cold idle when warm, resulting in the lovely behaviour of 1,500 rpm when the CVT disengages, which catches the CVT and makes the car pull ahead. What confuses me is when it's removed the car defaults to the idle control valve and works just fine without the wax stat, which begs the question what the fuck is the point of the thing if all it does is fail? Improved warmup in very cold weather I assume. As it works fine without it, I doubt there's any point in replacing it. I can't say I've ever heard my car go to fast idle at all- it's always at ~850RMP whatever the weather... perhaps they did away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reb Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I got a timely reminder not to drive like a twat this evening. Was showing off the 850 and lost traction in the wet on a long sweeping bend. I caught* it at least. *I don't think I had any input really, I think the car just rescued itself. Either that or I'm better at regaining control than I thought. RichardK and Lacquer Peel 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ged Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Picked up a B205 turbo lump 160 miles away in my saab. I had visions of strapping it upright all nice but the reality came down to just tossing it in.

Ged Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Funnily enough the guy I bought it off seemed to think we might be able to lift it up by hand and chuck it in, after a short discussion with my back I decided assembling the hoist would be the wise option. grogee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
